Well, it’s official – Sturgis will be getting a brand new Culvers restaurant sometime in 2014. And, I couldn’t be more excited. We need this badly!I spoke with a manager of Culvers in Coldwater over the weekend who confirmed the news. He said that they should break ground sometime in May of next year. I kid you not, I almost cried. Finally, there’s something to look forward to in this town.I ordered my usual – a Double Deluxe Burger Basket, minus the tomato, of course. I do like their food, especially their crinkle-cut fries. As I ate my food I dreamed of what Sturgis could be (cue the rippling visions).Coldwater is such a nice, beautiful town with a plethora of neat things we need in our own town. Take, for instance, Home Depot, Ponderosa, Dunhams, Big Boy, Buffalo Wild Wings, Bob Evans, Jimmy Johns, Younkers, Meijer, Gander Mountain, Big Lots….whew – I’m exhausted. We can now cross Culver’s off that list. But, it’s true. We need to heavily push for more of these fine establishments for our community. Sure, they are service-oriented. But, it gets people to come.I love going to Coldwater and going to Younkers. It’s like having a big city shop right in the small town. They have great clothing and good name brands, but they’re closer to home. Imagine if we had that here.I also enjoy seeing so many Sturgis folks at Meijer, Younkers and Home Depot, too. It’s like a friendly little get-together every time I go there. I see so many people from Sturgis there enjoying themselves and probably thinking the same things I am – Why is there not one of these in Sturgis? If the rumors are true, good things are to come for Sturgis. But, that’s only if the rumors are true. We can say for a fact now, that Culvers is no longer a rumor!
